My essay is about LeVar Burton. He is best known for his ability to cause earthquakes, and that's about it.
LeVar was born in the good half of Germany in 1957. He was raised with his two sisters by his mom, who was an English teacher. Without any evidence I can only assume that she was hot.
In the seventies he started his career in acting. He landed a role that made him famous as Cap. Jackson in Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Unfortunately he was worried about being seen as a candy bar seller, so he took a more serious role. No would make fun of him after he landed on a show named Rebop.
He also took the role of Kunta Kinte on a television series named Roots. Roots was about a bunch of system administrators and LeVar used his codename "Toby" to hack some very secure computers. This role won him admiration among geeks and helped him land the ultra-dork role of Lt. Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Also in the eighties LeVar was able to land a role on Reading Rainbow. His intentions were good but no kid ever read a book featured on the show. They just loved the theme song. Also, a scandal broke out when it turned out that LeVar didn't read the book about how magic rings don't exist and even if they did, random earthquakes don't really help the enviroment.
These set backs really hurt LeVar's career. He ended up directing episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise. He even appeared on Family Guy!
Despite this, LeVar has had a very worthwhile career. His greatest accomplishment was curing his pinkeye by wearing an air filter. Truly he has taught me that I can be anything.
